Medium Voltage Testing Laboratory

The Laboratories of Testing Laboratory Medium Voltage Frankfurt am Main

The Laboratories of "Testing Laboratory Medium Voltage Frankfurt am Main" is an independent Test Laboratory in accordance with the standard DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 with decades of competence in testing switchgear and components for electrical power engineering.

The Laboratories of Testing Laboratory Medium Voltage Frankfurt am Main is a plant section of Siemens AG, Division Power Transmission and Distribution, Subdivision Medium Voltage and is as such a part of the Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich, and does not constitute a separate legal entity. It is a member laboratory of PEHLA and PEHLA is a member of STL (Short-Circuit Testing Liaison).

Our excellent relations with other testing laboratories, collaboration in committees and further active training guarantee a constantly high level of knowledge and facilities. Of course we treat all test results as confidential.

The testing laboratory is specialized in testing switchgear and other components of electrical power engineering, preferably of the medium-voltage level (rated voltages from 3.6 kV up to 52 kV). This includes:

Circuit-breaker switchgear

Load-break switchgear

Circuit-breakers

Switches

High-voltage AC contactors and motor starters with contactors

Disconnectors

Earthing switches

HV HRC fuses

Measuring transformers

Switch-fuse combinations

Factory-assembled compact substations

Cable sets

Calibration Department

In our DKD-calibration department we register all measuring systems used in our testing laboratory, calibrating them ourselves in most cases. All calibrations can be traced back to the standards of the German calibration service DKD (Deutscher Kalibrierdienst).

Climatic Chamber

Mechanical Laboratory

In the mechanical laboratory we inspect the kinematic properties of test objects. This includes endurance tests of switching devices, test of the kinematic chain as well as function tests. For long-time tests there are automatic sequence control systems available.
